Hi, not sure about buses as we have always parked up and used the Metro system. We tend to park at South Shields, get the Metro to Gateshead and I run back whilst the hubby has a wander round the shops etc and then catches the Metro back to south shields, can be quite busy but cheap enough. I am sure the Great Run website will have info on coaches but would have thought they would need to be booked by now. Good Luck, have a great run.

Shields will be gridlocked with taffric for hours after the finish on Sunday afternoon. Would recommend the Metro there for your wife and then again for you both to get out! Its maybe a mile from the Metro to finish area and vice versa.
